i40e_get_rss_key() returns error if 'rss_conf.rss_key' is NULL, this patch is
fixing the error case.
But instead of fixing this in application level, it can be better to fix in
driver level. Because 'rte_eth_dev_rss_hash_conf_get()' API doesn't dictate
'rss_conf.rss_key' to be not NULL, so any other application can cause same
problem.
Possible solution can be to have an interim 'key' buffer in
'i40e_dev_rss_hash_conf_get()' and copy it to 'rss_conf.rss_key' if it is not
NULL.
